Re: [RC] Fwd: Fw: Signs of Ovarian Cancer) CA-125 blood test, Amust to read. - Diane Trefethen

Also totally OT -

About two years after writing her original email, Carolyn Benivegna posted a revision, the "flavor" of which differs dramatically from the original. She is now President of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. Her revised email does not pander to emotion; it appeals to intellect and common sense. Here is a link to this email:

The American Cancer Society does not endorse CA-125 as a reliable SCREEN for Ovarian Cancer in women at normal risk but suggests that it may be useful for those at high risk. Additionally, as of late 2000, there is on-going research, particularly into a new blood test that measures the levels of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA).
